Do you love the greener things in life but don't have the time or space for endless gardening? Open Miniscapes: Create your own terrarium and discover the creativity and fun of making your very own indoor garden encased in glass.

Miniscapes will inspire you with sixteen projects covering four biomes (desert, forest, carnivorous and air plants) and equip you with the knowledge you need about soil and rocks, moss, tools, propagation, choosing your plants and containers, and designing your tiny landscape. Between these covers is everything you need to create and maintain healthy, happy terrariums that are cheap to make and easy to maintain (you can even upcycle things you already have at home).

Whether you're a city dweller starved of nature or simply lacking the time or patience for maintenance, Miniscapes will guide you to create beautiful living sculptures that can be adored all year round, whatever the weather outside.
